Educational Partnerships Program
Program Overview
The Educational Partnerships Program fosters linkages in the humanities
and social sciences between U.S. and foreign academic institutions. Grants
support curriculum, faculty and staff development and collaborative research,
and outreach activities having a multiplier effect and positive long-term
impact. The program currently extends to all world regions, except those
covered by the Freedom Support Educational Partnerships Program. Eligibility
of countries within each world region varies for each competition.
Funding
Grants currently provide up to $150,000 for a three-year period. Funding
may be used to defray travel and per diem costs. Grants also provide for
educational materials, communications, and administrative expenses. Participating
institutions are required to maintain faculty and staff on full salary
and benefits during the exchange.
Applications
Grants are awarded through annual competitions announced each fall in
the Federal Register. Competitions are limited to specific countries and
geographic regions as well as identified themes and fields of study. The
complete application packet is made available each year on the bureau's
Requests for Grant Proposals
website. Final awards are usually announced in the summer.
U.S. institutions collaborate with foreign partners on proposal development,
are responsible for submitting grant applications, and are the final grant
recipients. The Bureau does not support undergraduate exchanges under
this program. For more information on individual exchange opportunities,
please refer to the Fulbright
Program.
